Question

Mary has been hired as a receptionist. She is paid a flat rate of $150 each week and earns an additional

$12.50 for every hour that she works. If her goal is to make $575 in one week, how many hours must Mary
work?

Answer 1

34

Explanation:

$575-$150= $425

So $425 is how much she needs bc she already gets $150 each week so subtract it from the $575. then do

$425/$12.50=(hours)34) so she needs to work 34 hours this week to get 575$
